Literature and Problem Statement

Description

Post a critique of the research study in which you:

Evaluate the authors’ use of literature.

Evaluate the research problem.

Explain what it means for a research study to be justified and grounded in the literature; then, explain what it means for a problem to be original.

Problem Statement Checklist Use the following criteria to evaluate an author’s problem statement: • Is a problem identified that leads to the need for this study? • Is a rationale or justification for the problem clearly stated? • Is the problem framed in a way that is consistent with the research approach? • Does the statement convey how the study will address the problem? • Are the citations to literature current (i.e., within the past 5 years with the exception of seminal works)?
